Mary Wollstonecraft

Maria: or, The Wrongs of Woman is Mary Wollstonecraft's unfinished novelistic sequel to her revolutionary political treatise A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792).

Vivek’s Notes

Left uncompleted when Wollstonecraft died, days after giving birth to the daughter who would be Mary Shelley. The heroine, incarcerated in a lunatic asylum by her despotic husband, writes an account of her cruel life, but does not get to complete her story.
